Geforce 7800 GTX 512 MB - Info Here

[Ubermann]

470 ?!

[highoctane]

Nice, I'm ready to order already, maybe they will be released before the 14th!

Doh, my eyes where playing tricks on me, I thought the clock speed was 570, 470 gets no luv from me.

[perkam]

So I guess we now know how they can clock that high, by scaling down the core.

Our Price: $599.00

Ouch...$50 below MSRP at launch

OT--> Srry, but does anyone remember the method for calculating memory bandwith ? Thx

470 ?!

Yea?! Typo? I can't believe they put it on the web...still NDA right?

Aw well..we saw an XFX do 580/1730....Inq told us 550/1800 stock...

I don't trust a single online store

[Ubermann]

Might be their "low end" version.
256bit interface so 512bit was wrong.

[revenant]

WHOA... hrm... that's got a lower core clock than we anticipated... but maybe it's volted well for good OCing?

[Revv23]

470 mhz?

man im confuzed.

[Ubermann]

Zipzoom crashed ?

[dnavarro]

Lets hope so.....*prays it is 570*
BTW if this is there low end model, it falls in line with being a GTX with 512MB of faster RAM. At 599.00 list price that means the regular GTX's "MSRP" should fall as those are currently 599 too right???

Zipzoom crashed ?

No.

But it seems people are eager to post the same information in two threads on the same subject, let's take away this inconvenience.

Yea mate, sorry....it's also kinda nuts to have two threads...anyway, thanks for merging...but now I had a double post!!@!

Deleted one

I really....have no idea what to expect..honestly...$599 sure is nice

[perkam]

It all depends on how well Nvidia's Mem controller can handle it...ATI's seems to be doing pretty well interms of future compability and customizability.

MWAVE is listing the XFX...not in stock at 799!

Like I said...I don't trust them one bit....they are horrible...

Anyway...I'll believe it on Monday...whatever will happen, I'm getting one...I'm not gonna wait again

But I have a feeling they won't let me down...

799 vs 599....yea my ass

I wanna see some reviews of this thing though

7 days...seem like 7 weeks....

[dnavarro]

your telling me
I can't open my wallet fast enough lol

Exactly !! So stop posting this fast !!!

yes - I think we all need an Nvalium.

[DilTech]

yes - I think we all need an Nvalium.

I prefer NVicodine.

Either way, we'll see what happens monday. For now, pricing is likely the famous "pre-order gouging" that we've come to know and hate by this point... It's a common thing for pre-orders to end up costing more than when the product is actually released.

$799 though? That's just pushing it. Shame on MWave .

[Tim]

So what we know vs the eVGA model at Zipzoomfly...all vs TheInq

We know that new Nvidia card is a very much tweaked original G70, Geforce 7800 GTX PCB design and this time the card will work at a magnificent 550MHz core and at 1800MHz memory.

Nvidia managed to clock its new cards to 550MHz and can still cool them with air. We believe that Nvidia tweaked its existing PCB design big time so managing to get those cards to such high speeds.

The same chaps managed to grab a BIOS from an XFX Geforce 7800 GTX 512MB and the chaps learned that XFX card obviously clocked even higher than the specs, it's working at 580MHz core and 1730MHz memory in 3D, the throttle frequency is 500MHz core and 1730MHz memory while in 2D card, you switch to a 275MHz core and 1730MHz memory.

470 vs 580 is a difference that is just too big...that's why I'm guessing the 470 isn't right....or just a very slow card compared to the OC'd ones.

One board even had the GPU clocked to sky-high 800 MHz, which sent shivers down my spine. 110 nano process doing 800 MHz clock? Vulcans would say "highly illogical", but we didn't care at the time and decided to trust our very eyes instead of sources who claimed differently.

Default clocks are set at 550/1800MHz, and every manufacturer can choose a variation.

Sow...what can we expect? 470Mhz? Not very likely is it? (would be dissapointing) 570 looks more like it.....typo? 7 days to go.

[DilTech]

Well...

After searching EVGA there's no sign of the 7800gtx 512mb there, and ZZF has taken the 512mb 7800gtx off their site.

Looks like it WAS a mistake after all. Likely done to generate more traffic to their website.

Again I say it, it's been removed, no cause for alarm, it's not real.

[dnavarro]

Hey guys want to here something mysterious??? I posted the same info I heard in the EVGA thread at their forums and within minutes my post magically dissappeared. Nothing, no link to zipzoom/mwave or anything. Like it never existed. Haven't tried posting again though...... BTW the post did show up at the moment I posted so I am not on NVrack lol...

*prays to the NDA gods that ate my posts...*

[[XC] leviathan18]

i think it wont be 470 more likely 520~550 that is almost 100mhz more in core speed that is a lot i want bench

[Tim]

I'm gonna take a little break and see what will happen...I still have to work this week (and my boss is gonna kill me if I hang around the forums all day )

I'll see what will happen...
